The village cricket club has new state-of-the-art nets, soon to be installed, and a full season of friendly games. The nets will considerably enhance the club’s facilities, placing it among the best in the area. It also has a lovely ground, in a beautiful setting, and a community village shop selling tasty treats on its doorstep.

Please come along to the clubhouse on Saturday May 7th for a social get-together and to hear more about what lies ahead.

Club Chairman, Nigel Tristem, gives more details below.

This is to let you know that we’ll be hosting a “One Club” Day on the cricket green on Saturday 7 May from 11.45am to 2pm which will provide a great environment for existing players and members to renew old acquaintance and find out more about what the new season will bring. There will be free burgers on offer and the bar will be open!

This email is being sent to both existing Senior Players and the parents of Junior Players and is designed with two things in mind – neither of which are mutually exclusive!

For the senior and resting senior players this is the chance to come down to the club and hear more about the Senior set up this season.

We are a friendly club that caters for all abilities and among other things you’ll learn about the net sessions that we are planning to run on some Wednesday evenings to help hone any long lost skills.

Friends of friends are of course most welcome here. We have a full fixture list and are always looking for fresh faces!

For the parents in the Junior section this is as much about hearing more about the season ahead as it is inviting any keen cricketers among you to meet members of the Senior side.

Brand new nets and surfaces are being constructed in mid-May and these, coupled with the bowling machine and top coaches, should ensure that we have some of the best facilities in the area.

Weather permitting it should be a great day, so we hope to see as many of you there as possible. It will start just after Junior training finishes at 11.45am so, if nothing else, a fabulous burger awaits those picking up their child or children!

All the best and hope to see you on the day.
Nigel.
